Things You'll Need:
- 2 large eggs
- 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer at medium speed to cream butter, milk, vegetable shortening and sugar. Fold in whole eggs gradually, one at a time; blend well after each egg. Add in vanilla extract.
-
Step 2
Add in flour, salt, and baking soda. Blend well with mixer. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
-
Step 3
Place a cookie sheet on a greased baking pan. Drop cookie batter by one teaspoonfuls, leaving each 2-inches apart on the cookie sheet.
-
Step 4
Bake at 350 degrees F for 10-13 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack in room temperature. Yields approximately 24 pieces (two dozens).
-
Step 5
Stop baking when the wafers start to brown. They will continue to bake due to the heat retained inside each cookie. If you continue baking them in the oven until they are fully browned, you'll get cookies that are too dry and hard to bite.
